Licensed to non-actual locations

[Doug Drown]

This brings up another question in my mind, having to do with broadcasting
stations that are ID'd in one community yet are actually located in a
different municipality altogether.  I'll use two examples:  WTAG and WGY.
The former used to have its studios in Worcester; they're now in Paxton.
The latter used to have its studios in Schenectady; they were later in
Niskayuna, then Colonie (which is in a different county), now they're back
in Niskayuna.  And yet the two stations are still ID'd as WTAG Worcester and
WGY Schenectady, respectively.  Is this permitted only because they're
grandfathered?    -Doug
